Allyson, Peri & Taquito's Blog – May 2010 Archive (5)

Peri 100% back to normal after her kennel cough ordeal last week. Feels great and I am relieved!

Here's the deal: even before the cough, she was starting to calm down significantly. She is now 13 1/2 months old. We let her have free roam of the house while we are gone now most of the time. She will sleep in on the weekends. We might have one zoomie/month now - I actually miss those - can you believe it?

I usually do not do blog posts like this, but the situation in the Middle TN area is devastating. It will not stop raining, flooding is everywhere. I have had 4 best friends basically lose their houses - one with 3 dogs and a newborn baby. All are safe at this point. We are safe, including dogs and my family is safe.
